Every year, I find something new to learn. Last year, I learned a few new crochet stitches, studied Monarch migration and took some native gardening classes. I put off learning chess...for another year. This year I'm learning about the stock market. For what it's worth, I can now say "dividend king' with authority.

Today is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day

I still have my Grimm's Fairy Tale book, given to me when I was about 6yo. A prized possession on my bookshelf.
"RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES!"
Who's bright idea was this movie trailer? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the producer's boardroom meeting. I picture newspapers spread out, on a long table. Everyone is is frantically scanning the headlines. Suddenly someone rips off a section of paper, " THIS IS IT! WE MUST MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS!"
Alex Morton I just want to rip up the headlines.
E. Writer Is that the name of the movie?
I'm looking for former Zoetropers. Is there a zoetrope group?
bb santx What a great video! Thank you for sharing! One of my favorite garden songs, along with Morning Has Broken and my personal mantra the Cherokee Morning Song

Crocheting has been a life long hobby. I'm more of a dirt scratcher than gardener....maybe some day!
E. Writer I only grow from a potted garden. Somehow, I dislike growing directly in the ground because of potential bugs and other creatures getting into it. It gives me more control. The song is beautiful and harmonious...rhythmic.
E. Writer BB, when you get a chance, you should share some of your crocheting photos. I am a novice at crocheting. I can crochet blankets and scarves. Basically anything in a rectangular shape and haven't tried much else. I prefer a half-double stitch because I can crochet faster. I only use Bulky 6 yarn for that reason too.
bb santx I belong to a local charity stitchers group. I make scarves, wheelchair/lap and baby blankets. Like you, I like to go fast so I use a size 7 hook, except for baby blankets. I prefer double stitch.
bb santx As for gardening outside, I garden for bugs!...specifically our state bug, the Monarch butterfly.
